Fuck me. I woke this morning to find my class today and tomorrow has doubled in size. I went from a nice manageable 5 students to 10. From a finance standpoint it's great, but having already taught a large class I was hoping for a more relaxed two days. Not going to happen.
Ended up being awake for 22 hours yesterday. I left the hotel at 2am CDT, got to the airport around 2:30. I did have one small adventure. B says she is proud of me, I say I was just doing the right thing. When I walked up to the kiosk to get my boarding passes, this little old toothless lady needed help. She wanted to know if she needed to do anything or if she could go to the gate or if she had to wait or. You get the point. She had never flown before. Well, I checked her papers, got her to the right spot to wait for 90 minutes until security opened, and made sure she was okay. When we got to DFW, I waited until she got off, got her on the Skylink and made sure she knew her connecting gate. It was the right thing to do. Hopefully she made it to Tucson safe. She was in the hands of the airport gods. As for me, I had upgrades on both flights and didn't have any issues. Had a two hour layover in Dallas and sat in the lounge. Landed at PDX at 11, got on the train, B picked me up at 12:30.
The hard part was my day wasn't over. Because of the two days of training I still have to do, I had to answer other emails, do my expense report, and have a 3pm conference call. I was stressed out. Got through all of that as well as unpacked.
We needed to hit the store and on the way back we got Mexican food. That was tasty. Came back, relaxed. Didn't watch any tv last night. Just wasn't in the mood. Went to bed around 9:15 because I was exhausted.
Just make it through these next two days and I get a 3 day weekend. I can do it.
